The Studio school founded by the late Kim Simpson is now closed. These pages are left here as a legacy and reference.
"Thank you so much for organising and inviting the mothers to the Studio. I had such a fabulous time with [my daughter]. It will be a memory that I will cherish forever. It is so heart-warming to see her so happy, confident and able. It was a joy to behold the pleasure she took in showing me around and demonstrating her learning through the many Montessori apparatus around. I was very impressed that she could do the 'Roman Arch', and she couldn't wait to tell her dad and brother all about her special day with mummy at Montessori."

New Parent feedback February 2015
"Thank you so much for all the love, attention and care you dedicated to [my son]. He has flourished under your guidance. The Studio was the perfect place for him to learn to be a child again, after all he had to endure at such a young age. As this wonderful experience comes to an end, we all move forward with tears in our eyes, but also with a
smile in our faces and our hearts full of gratitude."

"Thank you very much for a lovely start to the Studio! [My daughter] had two wonderful mornings and is already talking about going tomorrow."
New Parent feedback September 2013
"From the moment we had our visit to the Studio, we immediately knew it was the right place for our child. The caring environment and the care you have all exhibited has been exceptional. He has been able to form close bonds with the key team members who have catered for his needs. Our child has been able to develop emotionally and physically at his own pace and potential. The end of term report itself demonstrated a balanced and detailed knowledge of our child's development, the analysis of his character was also highly perceptive."
Parent feedback October 2013
"[My son] loves the nursery and we feel 100% happy for choosing the Studio. The whole environment is friendly and supportive. [He] loves the different activities and enjoys a lot more structured activities. He enjoyed the Nativity show and I really praise you for putting so much thought and effort in making this happen so beautifully. It was a great experience for [him] to take part in such an activity. Forest school is great fun and we are very happy you decided to go ahead with this.

"I love the creativity of the nursery and the fact that all staff are so lovely and approachable. I have also noticed a big change in my daughters understanding of numbers, letters and increased vocabulary since joining in February. We are very happy with the nursery and I have never had to worry about her there from day one. Thank you!"
